This North London derby is always a tough game for both sides and with Arsenal looking to win the Premier League title while Spurs are trying to book their Champions League spot this season after missing to qualify for any European competition last season. Thierry Henry has sent a stun warning to Arsenal for this specific derby which will be played on April 27 with Tottenham Hotspur being the hosts.
3. Chelsea
This fixture was supposed to be played on 17th March, but it was postponed as Chelsea will be playing FA Cup quarter Final against Leicester City that weekend. Though the fixture is yet to be rescheduled but Thierry Henry has listed the match as a must win game for the Gunners after a disappointing 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge in the first leg.

Goals from Captain Martin Odegard and two last minutes goals from Declan Rice and Gabriel Jesus gave the Gunners three important points. Arsenal will be travelling to Old Trafford on 11th May for the second leg, with the Gunners experiencing tough time when they play at the stadium with their last win at Old Trafford was 1-0 victory on 1st November 2020. Henry has highlighted the match as one of the toughest remaining for the Gunners and it is a must win for them despite their record at the stadium.
1. Manchester City
The Gunners will be travelling Etihad Stadium on 31st March to face the Cityzens. Mikel Arteta side won the first leg with a late winner goal from Brazilian winger Gabriel Martinelli. A 4-1 defeat at the Etihad last season was critical in their title contention collapse, and they must avoid a repeat of the same when they visit the Manchester based club.
